King Pomare, the fifth ruler OF the So
::ety Islands and the lands that lie adjacent
thereby, has instituted an action in divorce
against his wife, Queen johanna, who is
aged about fifteen. Partisan lawyers are
hard at work upon the case, as the youth
ful Queen lately came tothe French metrOp-
oils in order to place her interests in the
hands Of wise man of the Western world.
Her magesty's version is that her royal
husband is in sad need Of a little advice
from the apostles OF the blue ribbon move
ment. King Pomare is, in fact, Of pro-
nouncedly vinous disposition, and his
conduct to his spouse when In
his cups has been any thing but
royal, not to say gentlemanly. His "goings-
on" were SO bad tina: his youthful spouse
was constrained to fly for protection to her
mother-in-law. On the other hand, the royal
respondent is accused Of having had lover
in the shape Of q Gallo ''salt' in blue
jumper and loose trousers, who was one OF
the crew Of Q French man-0f-war. Admiral
Series, the commander -in-chief OF the sta
ton, did his best to effect reconciliation
between the spouses, and the two were
about to forget each others peccadilloes
when the young Queen learned that her
husband was going from bad to worse, and
that he was not only growing fonder OF
''baccy and rum" but that he was In fair
way to beat the Mormon prophets In the
matter Of polygamy. This interesting d.
vorce suit will be heard before the tribunal
of Papeiti in Otaheite.-L0HdOS Daily TIE

FOUND GUILTY.
Several Of the Bald knObbers Convicted o
Interfering With hOmestea'iers.

Several of the Bald knObbers Convicted OF
lnterfcrin. With Homesteaders.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Sept. S.-Thc trial
of the Douglass County Bald Knobbcrs was
resumed in the United States District
Court yesterday morning. Colonel Boyd,
attorney for tho Bald Knobbers, is still
sick, but news from Christian County OF
the acQuittal of the Bald knobber Apple
gate revived him somewhat. He addressed
the jury in behalf of his clients for over an
hour, and made a very able speech. He adj
mitted the existence Of the Bald knObbcr
organization, but asserted that it was COM
posed of good men, preachers, lawyers. etc.
Colonel n. L. Benton consumed an hour
and thirty minutes IN presenting the Cow
ernmcnt's side OF the case.
At the afternoon session Judge krekel
charged the jury having the case under con-
sideratiOn. He said it was the duty OF the
Government to protect homestead settlers
in the peaceful possession of their property;
that while the Government had no author
Ity to settle neighborhood quarrels, yet it
must afford peaceful possession OF prop
erty TO the homesteaders. The jury must
determine from the evidence if Atwood eu-
joyed the privilege Of peaceful possession
of bis homestead. The jury was out about
forty minutes and returned verdict OF
guilty against each Of tho prisoners.
Colonel Boyd at once notified the court
that he would file motion for now trial.
The verdict was generally expected by all
but the Bald knObbers.

Illinois Supreme Court.

OTTAWA. ILL.,, Sept. s.-The Supreme
Court held five minute formal session
yesterday morning and then adjourned
until to-day. Nothing whatever is known
positively regarding the Anarchist cases.
Rumors, however, are as numerous and as
conflicting as ever. A prominent Chicago
attorney is authority for the statement
that the opinion is not yet fully written,
and that the matter has not yet been in
conference. at is" said he, "a matter in
which 1 have the best Of reasons for say

Prospect fur a Rig Strike.

wIKEsBARRE, Pa, Sept. S.-NcthinS
definite can be learned as to the course the
miners in this vicinity will pursue on ac-
count Of the refusal OF the greater number
of coal operators to recognize their de.
mands for an advance Of wages. The
men are very reticent, and very little reii-
able information can be CLEANED as to
what they propose doing. The leaders
will not be interviewed under any circum-
stances. The sentiment among business
men is that the operators in the lower
end of the Luzerne will make concessions
to the men, il they do not give all that is
demanded, and thereby prevent what, AZ
this stage, threatens to be . big strike.

A LITTLE TOO FRESH.

Deputy Sheri0s With the Ever Ready Re-
vOlvsr Kill - Negro For Crap-ShoOtins.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. THE six dep
uty shcriffs who made . raid last Satur-
day night on a gang Of negro crap-shooters
and killed one who attempted to escape.
were arrested to-day on bench warrants is
sued by the judge Of the criminal court
and lodged in the county jail The county
grand jury is investigating the matter and
will undou b,edly find true bills against all
the accused. They still refuse to tell who
fired the fatal shot. The sheriff to-day dis
missed all but three Of his deputies. This
was done in obedience to an overwhelm-
ing public sentiment which was
aroused by the outrageous act Of the depu-
ties. In the last twelve months instead Of
conducting themselves as peace officers
they have acted the part Of lawless ruf-
fans, committing q number OF cowardly
outrages On negroes and making them
selves detestable to all decent cit,1oHs.
The Judge of tue criminal court instructed
tho grand jury to sift the killing Of the
negro crap-shooter to the bottom and il
they could not fix the crime on any one OF
the party arrested to indict them all for con-
Spirncy to murder.

THE TARIFF CONFERENCE.

Efforts in Progress at Oak View to Perfect
Tariff Measure to Present to Congress.
in December.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE tariff con-
ference at Oak View is said to be still in
progress. Secretary Fairchild and Repre-
sentative Scott, of Pennsylvania, arrived
here Monday and joined the President and
Speaker Carlisle yesterday. Mr.. Randall
arrived in town last night: but whether he
will participate in the conference or not
is not known. In en- interview yesterday
afternoon, when asked il he came here to-
attend the conference, he said that he had
not come here ON any mission, and that he
intended to return to Philadelphia as soon
as he placed his boy in school. He spoke
of the recent Pennsylvania Democratic CON-
vention with manifest qualification, and is:
pleased with the platform and with the
spirit of harmony and energy that per-
vades his party in the State.
The Star, speaking Of the conference
SAYS: "The Administration plan is almost.
complete, and when it is ready it will con-
tain every point Of concession they are
willing to make. This will be discussed
with Mr.. Randall, and while it is possible,
that some slight change might be made at.
his suggestion, il thereby they were sure
of securing his cooperation. It is likely
that in the main, the plan will be adhered
to, and he will be put in the attitude Of
opposing the Administration if he at
tempts to block their policy in this mat
ter. 1t is party emergency that
will require all their states
manship to meet. The situation
is anomalous, and Just what attitude Mr..
Randall may assume is a matter of doubt
The bill as mapped out certainly makes
e considerable concession to him from the
attitude of the majority of the party last
winter, the question is whether he will be.
content to accept the compromise. There
is o possibility that an understanding
between him and Mr.. Scott was reached
at the Pennsylvania convention, but this
is matter about which nothing can be.
learned at this time.

The CRY OF FIRE Nearly Results Fatally - .
New York Theater.
NEW YoRK, Sept 8-The largest audi
encs that ever gathered in the Casino was
there last night at the UOth performances OF
s.Erminie." The boxes, orchestra balcony.
galleries and even the space allotted to the
cafe under the roof garden were hiied full.
Spectators stood twelve deep In the arcades,
and 30 dense had the throng become at
little after eight that manager Rudolph
Aronson told Wellington Hall to stop sell
ing admission tickets. During the per-
formance the pungent smell OF smoke
began to be perceptible In the mouse.
At first it attracted but passing at
tentiou, but when it became more pro
nounced there was an uneasy shifting OF
heads, and some one looking up, saw a thin
haze floating down from the succeed dome.
The brilliant rays from the electric chande-
lier made the smoke tho darker. and rs 1t
curled downward sharp cry from the
upper gallery rang out:
Fire! firo!"
There was a wild. plunging noise in the
direction OF the cry, and people in the
orchestra and boxes began to gather up
their wraps and start for tho doors. Their
number swelled with each second, until
more than half the house was on its feet,
with white faces turned toward the exits
and panic in plain sight. Mean
while, on the stairs and in the lobby
there had been u jam Of the frightened
ones. Half dozen women tainted. At
the first note Of alarm Mr.. Aronson had
telegraphed for a squad Of police, and be-
fore the big audience had time to pack the
Hobbies and stairways the police reserve
was on hand. With drawn clubs they
rushed to the exits at the top OF the stairs
and effectually stopped the on-rushing and
panic-stricken crowd. Order was soon re-
stored, the greater portion OF the audience
returning to their seats, and the play con-
tlnued without interruption. Nobody was
seriously hurt.

Another terrible Cremation.

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Sept. ia special
to the DISPATCH from Dealsvillo, twenty
miles from here, tells of horrible crema-
ton which took place there last night. A
negro woman locked her four children, the
eldest eight years of age. in her cabin and
went to church. When she returned the
cabin was ON fire. The piteous walls from
the little ones within when roasting were
still audible, but nothing could be done to
extricate them from the flames, as the roof
OF the house had fallen in upon them.
When the flames had spent their fury the
charred remains of all four children were
found in the debris.
